A Salt and Battery - Crime Never Pays

Comment by violinist123:
I got the title. I also voted this very low.

Things that really held this back were the fact that the reflection of the salt is in sharp focus while the salt is not. Likewise the detail on the surface of the salt is only visible in the reflection. The composition is also a bit awkward. This would be an easy one to accomodate the rule of thirds with by placing the salt chunk on the lower left thirds intersection. I think that would have helped. Placing the battery on the right side of the scene would also help a lot by balancing the photo.

The concept was decent, it just couldn't overcome the technical issues in my mind. Look forward to seeing your skills meet your ideas because I think you will be submitting some great stuff when that happens.

Good idea, execution, composition, and focus on the eye. For this challenge, you might consider backing out the feather a little to the right to show a little more of the nice brown iris.

I was beginning to understand that during the challenge. Narrow point of view on my part. It was a learning experience. Thanks for commenting!
